[Blindtlk] Resolution that didn't pass about apple

[T. Joseph Carter]

I've made it clear that the resolutions were hotly debated at the 
convention.

But it's not even a case of the NFB coming down on one company for 
its behavior and giving another a pass, seemingly for money.

It's coming down on company A for not dictating the behaviors of 
companies C, D, E, F, and G while giving company B a pass, seemingly 
for money.

Apple's products are accessible.  We tried to condemn Apple for what 
other companies do, arguing that Apple should have forced them to do 
differently.  That is wrong on so many different levels!
